  1. wait, do you own a dairy/live on a dairy/work at dairy/ever even seen a
    dairy? Or have you only seen what PETA and YouTube has to offer, with the
    occasional sighting at your local state fair? If you can prove to me that
    my cattle are unhappy and don’t love their life, I won’t dog you, but i’m
    guessing you’re just another city bitch who thinks they know everything
    biased off of political propoganda. because I care for them, I know
    FIRST-HAND how these animals are treated and feel. Do you?

  5. this is so refreshing and it makes me glad to know that places like this
    still exist in a society that is obsessed with mass
    production/distribution/consumption. KEEP IT UP!

  7. no i have eyes that have actually seen it in person every day since i was
    3. that makes for an entire lifetime as opposed to you who probably saw all
    of your dumb “animals get it so bad” from a cut and paste PETA video about
    why you should only buy free-range eggs while you’re at it too.

  8. my animals that are “for hobby” put me through college, *no student loans*.
    I have killed animals both on my farm and off my farm. I don’t deny that
    farm animals do get abused, but so do domesticated animals. People try to
    glorify organic and say “it’s for the better” when in actuality, they know
    nothing other than whats been forcefed to them by the media–not first
    hand. and again, i seriously question that you know how the “typical” farm
    animal is raised and slaughtered. I eat my own.

  9. dont take my name out of context. I kill bad guys. like the people who are
    dumbasses and try to tell me that people who arent organic or who own farm
    animals are already evil and/or destructive to their overall well-being by
    saying they’d be better off in the wild. How many people own dogs, cats, or
    birds?

  10. @houseofisraelmusic Hello, Thank you for not eating dairy products. I would
    love to have my own cow, too, because even in some organic farms they
    separate the babies from the mothers and it causes the mothers to scream in
    pain for their babies, it’s extremely cruel. And it’s also cruel for the
    babies because the separation is very traumatic for them. I would leave
    mother and calf together and never separate them.

  11. I dont eat cow or any animals products, If i had a farm, and raised my own
    cow, then i would consider different lifestyle perhaps drinking their milk
    But today the way things are done just aint Kosher, or humaine, there is
    nothing funny about that, Artificially impregnating an animal is rape. its
    not natural. End of story

  13. So good to come to Youtube and see like minds spreading the good news about
    doing things naturally be it gardening or having a dairy farm. I hope
    others see this and other videos and are inspired to take action and post
    what they’re doing to get back to nature. Just a short, few minutes video
    could inspire many. Thanks for sharing. God Bless TGW – Lousianan –

  16. I am fully aware that organic farming goes on on the small scale. corporate
    farms make up a mere 2% of all american farms as opposed to 11% being
    partnership farms and 87% being small family owned farms, such as the one
    that I live on. also when you take into consideration that Urban Sprawl is
    taking place at a VERY rapid rate, where will we find these extra resources
    to keep this unneccesary and inefficient farming practice up? all I can say
    is who wants further rising food prices? not me.

  17. Great video, yet I would like to hear about how the calcium is being
    replaced in the fields once the cows take it off the pasture in he milk. Is
    the farmer mineral amending his pastures. Want to encourage any who see
    this video and value its message to go to the upcoming ACRES USA conference
    in Louisville Ky.Dec7,8,9 Its all about agriculture as opposed to
    agribusiness………I’ll be there……………..

  21. It is all about PROFIT!! If you can make more profit by doing organic
    farming – that is they way they will go!! If it is more profitable by doing
    “farming by chemistry” – then that will be done. If they can do farming by
    eating SHIT – they will do that – as long as it is profitable!! NO PROFIT =
    NO FARM!!

  24. … Antlers? I’m sorry, cows don’t grow antlers. You are thinking reindeer.
    Just for future reference, cows can genetically be born without HORNS. Its
    called being “Polled”. The main reason farmers “dehorn” cows is because of
    safety reasons. Cows are known to be aggressive towards each other by
    butting their heads around. For a while, we didn’t dehorn our cows because
    we thought it was cruel, but it was BAD mistake because there were torn
    udders EVERYWHERE. Its hard to heal a torn udder.

  25. dear mr. TOLY6, i agree, farming is hard work, i have done some in my life,
    but organic is healthier, its common sence. i also believe that change cant
    happen over night without severe consequences, but give it time and
    hopefully we move towards the direction of organic. also, the using human
    shit to fertilze crops in other countries comment, yes, circle of life,
    thats the earth and life as we know it. what in the hell do you think dirt
    consists of, roses!?!?
